Series 8 Pirate-Themed Submissions

Here be what Series 8 has to offer LEGO Pirate fans

“The AMBER WIND” by OhMyCaptain

Parts: 2,690 | Minifigures: 9 | Stickers: 10
Length: 72 cm / 28.7 in | Height: 52.2 cm / 20.7 in | Width: 23.7cm / 9.3in

“The AMBER WIND” takes its name from the ship’s vivid red and bright light orange sails—echoing the warmth of a golden breeze at sunset.
It is an ode to freedom, life, and adventure beyond borders.

"The AMBER WIND" by OhMyCaptain

Now that’s how to do execute brick-built sails!

It began with our musician. She played a tune from an island tribe—eerie, almost too perfect.

Then the captain brought out an old golden map—found years ago in a knight’s tomb.

“Pirate Treasury” by brickhucker

Parts: 3,390 | Minifigures: 9 | Stickers: 5
Length: 43.3cm / 12.9 in | Height: 34.5 cm / 13.6 in | Width: 43.3cm / 17.1in

In the lawless expanse of the open sea, where loyalties shift with the tide and fortune favors only the ruthless, one establishment stands firm: the Pirate Treasury — a beacon of order in an ocean of chaos.

"Pirate Treasury" by brickhucker

Burying treasure on desert islands is so old fashioned

brickhucker writes:

The treasury is ruled by two iron wills:

  • The Treasury Warden, a towering sentinel of steel and suspicion. His gaze is judgment. His word, law.
  • And the Madam of Coin, keeper of the ledgers and the true weight behind the wealth. Her reputation stretches further than any ship’s sail — for while the Warden inspires fear, it’s the Madam who exacts cost.

“Siege of the Skull Renegades” by Lacike

Parts: 3,991 | Minifigures: 13

The Imperial soldiers of the red and blue factions have decided to join forces to finally catch the pirates of the legendary ship Skull Renegades, that is plundering the seas.

"Siege of the Skull Renegades" by Lacike

Support this one and you get a fleet

Lacike writes:

These medium-sized ships are primarily intended for playing rather than collecting dust on a shelf.

“Pirate Haven” by elevenmocs

Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 13 | Stickers: 11

"Pirate Haven" by elevenmocs

Looks like a pirate hotel

elevenmocs writes:

Hello Everyone!

Here’s my entry to the BDP 8 – Pirate Haven

“The Red Knight” by pirateshipbuild

Parts: 3,950 | Minifigures: 10

The Red Knight was originally built in July 1777 as HMS Vestal, a Sphinx-class post ship (also known as a sixth-rate ship). While sailing off the coast of Newfoundland later that same year, Vestal encountered a violent gale and was said to have sank…

"The Red Knight" by pirateshipbuild

Includes mouse and pig

pirateshipbuild writes:

The Red Knight is composed of 3,950 pieces and replicates closely a Sphinx-class post ship. She is armed with ten 24-pound guns and has a crew of nine (plus Skelly, the skeleton) as well as a cat, mouse, pig, and parrot.

“Imperial Guards Star Fortress” by hansime

Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 13

The five bastions would house things to keep safe and a means to keep their contents safe: strong sloped walls with a cannon on top, excellent firing angles along the walls and sleeping quarters, storage, treasury or armory inside.

"Imperial Guards Star Fortress" by hansime

The ultimate defense configuration

hansime writes:

I wanted to try and build something special, but accessible for everyone. Something appealing to many, but also something that could keep myself busy for hours by giving me a big challenge right away.

“Breezy Beth sailing on the Little Scallywag” by mbg42

Parts: 1,083 | Minifigures: 1 | Stickers: 1

All aboard the Little Scallywag! This charming pirate ship is home to Breezy Beth, the somewhat headstrong but warm-hearted captain.

"Breezy Beth sailing on the Little Scallywag" by mbg42

The cutest little cutthroat you ever did see!

mbg42 writes:

This model was inspired by an idea from my 6-year-old son, who built a wonderful, adorable little ship and, while playing, invented a story about a young pirate girl.

“White Shark Imperials Prison” by DelusionB

Parts: 3,169 | Minifigures: 6 | Stickers: 10

The legend goes that no one has ever escaped this prison. Not a single soul has managed to break free from the confines of this mysterious stronghold…

"White Shark Imperials Prison" by DelusionB

Escape this yer dirty rotten scallywags!

DelusionB:

My love for the Imperial forces and a deep fascination with the legends of the most notorious pirates of the age led me to design something never before seen—a prison, built specifically to hold the most infamous of the pirate world.

“Madriguera hideout” by One_eyeChristos

Parts: 3,457 | Minifigures: 8

Madriguera is the home of the outcasts. Magriguera is family. Everyone knows their roles. Rum flows abundantly in the bar.

"Madriguera hideout" by One_eyeChristos

To the bar!

One_eyeChristos writes:

The reason for this project was my endless hours of playing as a child with all those aesthetically unsurpassed classic lego pirate sets from almost four decades ago. Now as an adult, I wanted to present something that stemmed from all that atmosphere of my childhood.

“Broadside Brawl” by Sam2XD

Parts: 1,189 | Minifigures: 0 | Stickers: 5

The scurvy scalawags are back with their smallest sloop yet to loot merchants, raid blue coats or resupply Jose’s Inn!

"Broadside Brawl" by Sam2XD

Any relation to Scalawag Sloop?

Sam2XD writes:

The Broadside Brawl offers two small vessels, each with a unique hull design. Note the pleasantly curved hulls, brickbuilt sails/cannons, working rudders.

Sadly, minifigures are not included.

“Armada Bastion” by Ammiraglio

Parts: 3,014 | Minifigures: 10 | Stickers: 5

The king’s soldiers have finally returned with their new outpost built in the heart of the Caribbean Sea. With their ship, Admiral Grenado is ready to explore the nearby islands in search of treasure.

"Armada Bastion" by Ammiraglio

The fort the Imperial Armada badly need

Ammiraglio writes:

The Armada Bastion can be separated into two sections that can be arranged in two different ways: harbor mode with open back for play, and the impenetrable fortress mode.

“Meeting on treasure island” by bellu33

Parts: 3,985 | Minifigures: 13 | Stickers: 5

When the sky decided started to become dark and the sea began to whisper stories among the waves, the crew of the Blunt Sword set sail for adventure…

"Meeting on treasure island" by bellu33

The sword marks the spot

bellu33 writes:

The model contains hidden places and input that needs to be unlocked, Let it pass, rotate, etc.
The crew of Blunt Sword has one A fragment of the map, while the other five are hidden on the island. Find them all and put the whole map down.

“Meeting on treasure island” by BallisticBricks

Parts: 2,425 | Minifigures: 8

With its strong walls and strategic defenses, Coconut Cape serves as a guardian of the ocean, deterring pirates and ensuring the safety of the surrounding trade routes.

"Coconut Cape" by BallisticBricks

Includes heavily laden coconut palms

BallisticBricks writes:

Coconut cape is back for series 8! I’ve made several structural improvements which make the model much more stable and reduces the part count close to 100 pieces from its series 5 predecessor while maintaining the original look of the fort.

“Wolf Pirates Revenge!” by SevenDeadly

Parts: 905 | Minifigures: 3 | Stickers: 3

The Wolf Pirates are led by a fearsome leader by the name of Captain Fang. He is accompanied by his two dogs Remus and Romulus and his first-mate Coral Seaweed.

"Wolf Pirates" by SevenDeadly

A little crossover into Castle

SevenDeadly writes:

I am a huge fan of both Pirate and Castle LEGO themes so it only felt natural to combine them into my BDP entry – Wolf Pirates!

“The Libertalia Fortress” by IamWhatIam

Parts: 4,000 | Minifigures: 9 | Stickers: 5

Nestled within the cliffs of Libertalia, the pirate fortress stands as a symbol of rebellion and freedom. Made of solid stone, it’s a place of defiance against the empires of the world.

"The Libertalia Fortress" by IamWhatIam

The flag is flying high – somewhere

The fortress is more than a home – it’s a base for their freedom, a place where their flag will always fly high over the seas, defying any empire that dares to challenge them.

“Anchor Cove Imperials Shipyard” by DelusionB

Parts: 3,058 | Minifigures: 7 | Stickers: 8

As the sunsets over Port Royal, the shipyard hums with the promise of new adventures on the horizon. This is not just a place of work, it’s a birth place of legends.

"Anchor Cove Imperials Shipyard" by DelusionB

Well, the Imperial Guards have to build their ships somewhere

DelusionB writes:

My effort to design a new Imperial set led me to come up with an idea for a shipyard set, something that has not existed until today. The set is anarchitectural corner-type shipyard for the Red imperial soldiers!

Muchas gracias!

Así que asegúrate de comprarle algo de ron la próxima vez que lo veas!
